| There are literally thousands of supposed cures for a hangover but very few of them have any biochemical credibility. The one true cure for a hangover is good high quality H2O. There is a reason that you wake up in the middle of the night craving a glass of water, your body is telling you exactly what it needs. Drinking water before, during and after consuming alcohol can head off the dehydration caused from the diurectic effects of the alcohol. But that's not all water can do for you. Water along with aldehyde dehydrogenase will convert all that built up acetaldehyde into acetate. This serves two purposes, reducing the acetaldehyde concentration and the acetate produced can be converted to acetyl-CoA to help drive the Krebs cycle. This will help to alleviate the fatigue and muscle soreness. |
